It sounds a little silly, and sometimes I look a little silly, but I will go up one set of stairs and down the other side stairs a few times during my conference and my lunch, and at least one time before or after school. It helps when you start feeling beat during the middle of the day, and makes you feel better about going home and crashing. As the years have gone on, and the first year stressors have gone away, I have found time to yoga once a week with a great coworker from the school that will keep me going and work out a couple of days a week. You have to ease yourself into it otherwise you will never be able to juggle it all. I am glad you are liking your job. Think how great it will be next year when you have a year under your belt!

"you do know I'm not skinny, right?" because I did have one bad date where he left after just 10 minutes (his friend had an "emergency") and I think it's because he got more of a woman than he was expecting. I figure... there are a lot of men out there that I don't find particularly attractive, so I'm fine with lots of men not thinking I'm that attractive either. I just need one guy to think I'm devestatingly sexy anyway. :) P.S. I'm moving to Texas! just wanted to chime in – i’m totally with on on the full disclosure from the start thing, although I have been known to say to a guy before meeting him… “you do know I’m not skinny, right?” because I did have one bad date where he left after just 10 minutes (his friend had an “emergency”) and I think it’s because he got more of a woman than he was expecting.

I know it can be stressful waiting to hear back. Now you need to start focusing on the beginning of year stuff, class rule, procedures, intro activities. And remember not to be a softy, especially at the beginning of the year. When you are too nice you lose the classroom for the whole year. Your sweater is adorable; I would wear it to class in a heartbeat! Good luck! I am happy to hear you got a teaching job! I know it can be stressful waiting to hear back.
